Changer is like a sliding board
August 6, 2016
I chose this model specifically for the changer and am very disappointed. The changer is on an incline, rather than being level, and also leans a little to one side, so the baby slides down to one corner while I am trying to change him. Babies wiggle enough--they don't need to be on a sliding board, too. It was supposed to make it easier to change diapers but after one week of him sliding around I took the changer off and put a changing pad on the raised mattress to change him on a flat surface. I'm not sure what I'm going to do for a changing station once I remove the higher mattress. I wish I had known how difficult it would be to use a changer that is not flat. We tried disassembling it and putting it back together, thinking maybe we had assembled it incorrectly, but the changer is still like a lopsided sliding board. Disassembling the napper/changer was quite difficult, which makes it challenging for cleaning purposes. Somehow my son managed to have a projectile bowel movement that got in between the two layers. Getting it apart to clean it was virtually impossible. Since part of the hardware to attach it to the unit is attached to the napper/changer, I was hesitant to launder it. It would be nice if this attachment were more user-friendly and functional. Now that I have used this and my son has soiled it, I'm afraid I'm stuck with a product I really don't like. I haven't used the napper, because I have a separate sleeper my son likes. I am sure it will function fine as a pack n play once my son is bigger, but I'll need to figure out a solution for diaper changes.
